EAGLE PASS, Texas — More than 250 migrants in separate groups were witnessed crossing into the city in the span of an hour Monday night.
The group that appears in the video numbered nearly 100 and was immediately preceded by a group of more than 150 a short distance away, according to Border Patrol agents.
As the large groups crossed at nightfall, authorities in San Antonio, worked to investigate the deaths of 50 migrants who perished after being smuggled in a sealed tractor trailer near the Interstate 35/Loop 410 interchange. Speaking to reporters about the tragedy, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, flying aboard Air Force One, reiterated the Biden Administration’s position concerning the situation at the southwest border.
“The fact of the matter is, the border is closed, which is in part why you see people trying to make this dangerous journey using smuggling networks,” she emphasized.
